Gender And Citizen Justice

In a rapidly warming world, where local, regional and global economic inequalities are more pronounced than ever before, it is the rights of marginalised groups like women, girls and gender non-binary individuals that are almost always under attack. For those among them that are indigenous, persons of colour, and persons of diverse sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expressions and sex characteristics – their experience of marginalisation is even more acute.

We fight back against these systems of oppression ensuring that all women, girls and gender non-binary individuals in the Pacific are able to live lives of dignity, and where they are able to realise their rights, their agency and their freedoms. We provide resources that allow them to participate in and lead their own economic development, to manage their menstrual health, to address and shift their unpaid care workloads, and to fight back against the systems that allow for violence against them to be maintained and normalised.

Our work is entrenched in the belief that when we transform the systems and structures that drive and deepen people’s experiences of poverty that we can remove the barriers that women, girls and gender non-binary people in the Pacific face and create a future that is just and equal for everyone.
